Mortgage Song Parodies: The Day The Loan Died

People, you need to start recording these on video and sending them to me...forget YouTube.

"American Pie" - Don McLean

Mortgage advisor Andrea S. says this song parody of Don McLean's "American Pie" came from a branch manager at a very, very big mortgage lender you may have heard of which is having trouble lately:

Long, long time ago... I can still remember How that yield spread made me smile. And I knew if I had my chance Those mofos I could finance And I could pay my bills for a while. But February made me shiver With every good faith I'd deliver. Bad news on my e-mail; I just lost one more deal. I can't remember if I criedWhen I saw the Fremont slide But something touched me deep inside The day the Subprime died.

So bye-bye, BC money supply. Sent my package to four lenders But they all asked me why. And good old boys were on a crack induced high Singin', "This'll be the day the loans die, This'll be the day the loans die."

And from mortgage banker Rick M., a tribute to the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction":

I can't get no loans to close, I can't get no loans approved. Though I rant and I rave and I cry and I pray. I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm sittin' at my desk And a rep comes in to give a show and he's tellin' me more and more about some useless information supposed to fire my imagination. I can't get no, oh no no no. Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no loans to close I can't get no loans approved Though I rant and I rave and I cry and I pray. I can't get no, I can't get no. When I'm wastin' away my day and rep comes in to say how great his pricing's today Well he can't be the man 'cause he doesn't pay the full yield spread I need. I can't get no, oh no no no. Hey hey hey, that's what I say.
